(Yes)Are there any educators or administrators at schools who can help us promote? Maybe do a Facebook Live post?Santana asked how we could promote J-Day through non-journo outlets.Bloom stated students mostly attended the event in the past.Foley would get the word out through various journo professors.Bloom suggested pushing specific panels to particular audiences.Santana asked whether we had a budget to promote and market J-Day. Maybe $50 to $200 to a targeted audience? Perhaps we’d get a great turnout to a showcase panel. For example, maybe we target people interested in immigration.Rohit asked how much would $200 get us? What would be the reach?Chang suggested splitting up the budget to promote different panels.Pirani suggested spending some money on the FB event page and then allocating the remaining budget elsewhere.

NEW BUSINESS

WELLS FARGOBloom met with Wells Fargo on Nov. 10; it was merely a conceptual chat on sponsorship for the club’s gala. They would provide logos, have a table at the event, have a presence on Social Media outreach and perhaps have a few minutes at the podium. Wells Fargo would make a $5000 contribution.Gala is funded by tickets, member fees and some help by Cox.Cox wants to come back on a multi-year deal.Maybe use Cox and WF to bring in other sponsors?Marsters was uncomfortable giving any sponsor time at the podium.Santana said there’s an argument to be made to not accept money from WF.Bloom will meet with WF again and tell our contact about our stance.

DISCRETIONARY EXPENSESLast meeting we discussed & voted on whether to allow board members to spend $50 or $100 without board approval (and be reimbursed later).Chang reviewed the bylaws. Turns out the treasurer has power to spend up to $500 without board approval, so our discussion and vote in October was unnecessary.

AWARDSMarsters asked about categories, so we can get it out to the membership by January.We had a discussion of advocacy journalism.Clear Voice/Clear Point of View = advocacy journalism?Discussion centered on whether we should label advocacy content as sponsored content.Santana said advocacy journalism has a place at the table, but it’s still advocacy journalism.
